Connecting to different DBMS's with isql
Posted in 1996
I want to connect to different DBMSs from one host.
I've been told by Informix that the format is
isql dbname@dbserver.
The DBMSs I'm connecting to are set up by a third party software
vendor and all we have is a run time license (we've got isql and
dbschema only.) We don't currently have any sort of development
environment.
I looked on the various hosts for the DBSERVER environment
variable. It is not set. I tried using the hostname instead, to no
avail.
I am using Informix SQL version 4.10.UC2. As far as the name of the
Informix server installation -- I dunno.. I've just seen Informix.. No
SE or Online or anything...
Anyone able to give me some ideas? I want to connect to a database
called test on a host named STORE123.
Telneting to STORE123 and typing isql test works fine.
Thanks!
